I would like to welcome myself I just bought a Tungsten GT and have searched the threads here looking for performance upgrades for the GT.

I have found here listed http://www.dallasmustang.com and I have also found searching the internet Roush smaller supercharger pulley kit http://store.roushperformance.com/detail.aspx?ID=604

My question is I was talking to guy out of California that you can do a PCM recalibration in conjuction with the pulley kit and get an extra 100HP for under $2000.

The pulley is a must have so what other tuning tips should I go out of the gate.

Since my GT put a good dent in Ass National Bank I would like to keep it under $2000 to start off.

Thank you all in advance for your ideas and experiences.

Best wishes

Tex

Greetings,
I personally don't know the Texas tuners, but I am sure some of the locals will post on this thread. Or... you can do a search and find what has already been said. If memory serves, there are a couple in your area. Good luck!
Cheers,
daniel

tuners..

Hennessey has a "GT700" which is 660 RWHP...includes pulley,computer, Ford Racing Headers, and exhaust...be concerned about engine temps with any mods...car already runs hot...do you know about www.msrhouston.com?? We have a place to really drive this car. I think you will find the car has plenty of power...the problem is how do we keep the power to the ground and the heat issue..

As far as I know there are only two cars tuners that have gotten GT's into the 10's in the 1/4 mile. Stage 6 in Florida and Accufab in California.

I think Heffner's TT will easily run 10's if it hasn't already.

I agree, I just haven't heard that the car has been run hard yet. And until it does, it hasn't.

Strictly Performance built an 03 cobra that last I heard turned 8.3. I think they are a diablosport shop. They are near the Hobby Airport.

Thanks for all the feedback!

I have ordered the SVO headers and muffler.

I will order the pulley and let everyone know how it turns out.
